The number of parts of the shifted shape of a permutation.
The diagram of a strict partition $\lambda_1 < \lambda_2 < \dots < \lambda_\ell$ of $n$ is a tableau with $\ell$ rows, the $i$-th row being indented by $i$ cells. A shifted standard Young tableau is a filling of such a diagram, where entries in rows and columns are strictly increasing.
The shifted Robinson-Schensted algorithm [1] associates to a permutation a pair $(P, Q)$ of standard shifted Young tableaux of the same shape, where off-diagonal entries in $Q$ may be circled.
This statistic records the number of parts of the shifted shape.

The unique permutation obtained by applying the Foata-Riordan map to obtain a Prüfer code, then prepending zero and cyclically shifting.
Let $c_1,\dots, c_{n-1}$ be the Prüfer code obtained via the Foata-Riordan map described in [1, eq (1.2)] and let $c_0 = 0$.
This map returns the a unique permutation $q_1,\dots, q_n$ such that $q_i - c_{i-1}$ is constant modulo $n+1$.
This map is Mp00299ones to leading restricted to permutations.

Krattenthaler's bijection to 321-avoiding permutations.
Draw the path of semilength $n$ in an $n\times n$ square matrix, starting at the upper left corner, with right and down steps, and staying below the diagonal. Then the permutation matrix is obtained by placing ones into the cells corresponding to the peaks of the path and placing ones into the remaining columns from left to right, such that the row indices of the cells increase.

Sends a permutation to its image under the Foata bijection.
The Foata bijection $\phi$ is a bijection on the set of words with no two equal letters. It can be defined by induction on the size of the word:
Given a word $w_1 w_2 ... w_n$, compute the image inductively by starting with $\phi(w_1) = w_1$.
At the $i$-th step, if $\phi(w_1 w_2 ... w_i) = v_1 v_2 ... v_i$, define $\phi(w_1 w_2 ... w_i w_{i+1})$ by placing $w_{i+1}$ on the end of the word $v_1 v_2 ... v_i$ and breaking the word up into blocks as follows.

• If $w_{i+1} \geq v_i$, place a vertical line to the right of each $v_k$ for which $w_{i+1} \geq v_k$.
• If $w_{i+1} < v_i$, place a vertical line to the right of each $v_k$ for which $w_{i+1} < v_k$.

In either case, place a vertical line at the start of the word as well. Now, within each block between vertical lines, cyclically shift the entries one place to the right.
To compute $\phi([1,4,2,5,3])$, the sequence of words is

• $1$
• $|1|4 \to 14$
• $|14|2 \to 412$
• $|4|1|2|5 \to 4125$
• $|4|125|3 \to 45123.$

In total, this gives $\phi([1,4,2,5,3]) = [4,5,1,2,3]$.
This bijection sends the major index (St000004The major index of a permutation.) to the number of inversions (St000018The number of inversions of a permutation.).
